Neofigurative

Okay kiddo, let's talk about neofigurative art. So you know how when you draw a picture, you might draw people or animals, right? Well, when artists make neofigurative art, they create drawings or paintings of things that look like people or animals, but they don't always look exactly like them.

It's kind of like when you play with blocks and you build a tower, but you make it really tall or use different shapes to make it interesting. Neofigurative artists do something similar, using their imaginations to create art that's unique and different.

Sometimes they might use really bright colors or mix different textures to make their art even more interesting. They want people to look at their art and feel like they're seeing something they've never seen before.

So, in a nutshell, neofigurative art is creating drawings or paintings of things that look like people or animals, but with a twist that makes them unique and interesting.
